Meera George

Born in Chennai, India, Meera George widely exhibits and performs internationally. Strongly autobiographical, Meera’s performances are also sensitive to cultural and feminist issues. Her mixed media works, however, comment on the impermanence of existence and the looming climate challenge. She is the recipient of nine international grants and residencies, including Fukuoka Asian Art Museum Japan, La Napoule Art Foundation France, and Fremantle Arts Centre Australia. Meera currently lives and works in Pune, India.

During her time at the Bogliasco, Meera George will carry out research in the areas of marine biology and conservation related to the coast of Genoa, working closely with the Genoa Marine Centre. Through her mixed media and digital art works, Meera will be investigating the cellular structures of endangered plant & coral species of the Mediterranean. Her works hope to build a bridge between science, conservation, ecology, and art in order to draw attention to the state of our seas today.
